J-PAL North America provides strategic and customized Research Management Support (RMS) to researchers in the J-PAL network to navigate early-stage complexities in the design and implementation of randomized evaluations.

Research on the Graduation Approach, developed by BRAC and evaluated by J-PAL-affiliated researchers has empowered over 14 million households across 50 countries to uplift themselves from extreme poverty.

Evidence shows that young children have capacity to engage with quantities and shapes from birth – an ability that can be nurtured during early childhood to enhance formal math skills during preschool and grade 1.
